Jay and Chuck

The Blue Jay and I were sitting around the farm having the longest conversation the other day about how we believe Chuck the Squirrel is a hoarder. We couldn’t help but notice Chuck’s constant obsession with collecting and hiding acorns in every nook and cranny. It seems like his hoarding behavior has reached an extreme level, as we often find acorns stashed even in the most unexpected places.  Chuck likes …

Fresh Cut Hay

Going outside is my daily routine that adds health and continued wellness to my daily life. I will find time no matter what the weather is doing, I mean weather will always happen so you might as well embrace it! I either walk down the long dirt driveway to the mailbox, you see I live on a farm and everything out here takes a bit more time to do, so …

Thanksgiving survival guide

The holidays are almost officially here.  I mean, just yesterday I picked fresh herbs from the garden and finished up gathering seeds for next year’s garden.  I’m always saying time has wings, and this year I have proof, as I am now making my shopping list for Thanksgiving and starting to gather my thoughts for Christmas. Thanksgiving was originally planned as a no-one cooks, lets go out to eat celebration, …

Days full of Sunshine and Good Food

The baking extravaganza all started with the announcement that my two daughters were coming over early Sunday morning! They had a to do list to do with the horses, it was going to be one of those wonderfully long days filled with outside chores , good food, laughter and complete exhaustion at the end of the day. Because I always have a to-do list that needs some TLC every now …

Sloppy tater tots

Do you ever get in the mood, where you start thinking about what if ? Like, what if I were to put honey in my rice, chocolate on my French toast, or sloppy joe into my tater tots? Suddenly you realize the what-if has now turned into a meal all by itself, and you run through the house yelling at the top of your lungs, ” I did it! I …

All Hail Francis!

We lost a dear friend on Aug 09 2021, who was from a different time and place for all three of us. Francis, (frannie) our beloved cat of 22 years!  My daughter was 9 when my daughter adopted her as a kitten, or as we say, Francis adopted us. We first met Frannie when we took pottery lessons from a very sweet old lady, who must have had 30 cats …

Annie and Pennys Garden Grows

There has been an whirlwind of activity here at Long Ears Farm in the past couple weeks. With the return of warmer temps, I am now able to get everything outside set up in the garden, open up the chicken coops, build gates, repair fences, and turn the outside water back on, and bring the swamp cooler back online. Annie and Penny have been very involved in all the action …

Muddy Dogs and Floors

I can mop up the floors and clean up the mud, vacuum the carpets and shake out the rugs. I can clean the house and do the chores, even wash the laundry once more. But I can’t replace the smiles and the laughter, those will live on long after. Long after the pawprints fade and the collars are finally put away. They may be muddy and they may be gross …

Change in the air by bear

I knew when I woke up that this day would be different than most. I could smell a change in the winds as it engulfed me during my morning rounds.   The air smelled sweet, almost foreign but oh so familiar. My best friend was still sleeping, she was tired from a long week at her job. I decided to go out into the yard and do my rounds early …

Doc and the Chicken Sandwich

Let me introduce myself my name is Doc, or Docdog as my humans call me when I am in trouble and not in trouble, kina confusing if you ask me. My owner says I have an “intense personality”, maybe its because I am sort of a border collie, perhaps, some sort of border collies I have met do seem to be pretty intense that’s for sure. I know I have …
